loan contract

Debt repayment document

A loan contract is a legally binding agreement between a lender and borrower specifying the terms of a loan—the amount, interest rate, repayment schedule, and consequences of default.

The document protects both parties by making expectations explicit: Read your loan contract carefully before signing.
